Donald Trump nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize? --Samantha Arthur: 1st period

The Nobel Peace Prize could possibly go to Donald Trump. He was nominated for his "peace through strength ideology" regarding ISIS and Communist China. He was nominated by a "mystery patron" according to Kristian Berg Harpviken (a respected Nobel watcher and head of the Peace Research Institute of Oslo).

I think it's rather silly for Donald Trump to be nominated for a Peace Prize. Throughout his presidential campaigning, he's been everything but peaceful. Maybe CNN is just confused by a rumor, but then again Kristian Berg Harpviken confirmed the nomination. Luckily, thousands of people are nominated for the annual Nobel Peace Prize so it's very unlikely he will actually win.

  1. I honestly cannot believe that this is really happening. Donald Trump is the opposite of peaceful. What he is advocating for in terms of treatment of Muslims would be disastrous and could possible lead to devastating violence. People need to understand the true connotation of Trump's message.

  3. Going off of his desire to keep immigrants out of the United States, this is similar to the ideology of the nativists during the Industrial Revolution and again during the 1920's with Immigration Quotas.

  4. This is terrible news! Trump has caused so much controversy and argument during his campaign. You can not believe everything that you hear in the media so hopefully this is not true!

  5. Matthew Homsher 9th- He's only trying to get the Nobel Prize because he realized that there is no possible way he could become President of the United States. He'll probably lose quickly.

  6. I just hope he doesn't get any actual votes, like he is nowhere near peaceful, his ideas only promote anger which leads to violence. (Alejandra Hernandez 6th period)

  7. Please let this be satire. An early April Fool's joke. A writer from the Onion undercover at CNN.
